The following Terms and Conditions of Use apply to the use of electronic editions of scholarly journals (hereafter, Journal) published by the Council for Research in Music Education (hereafter, Council). Refusal or failure to abide by these Terms and Conditions of Use may result in suspension or termination of access. The Council may amend or supplement these Terms and Conditions of Use as needed without prior notice.
Definitions:
“Authorized User”: Any user granted access to the Journal by the Council, including but not limited to (a) an individual subscriber to the Journals, (b) a member of a society or other sponsor of a Journal published by the Council, (c) a member of a subscribing institution, or (d) a member of a former institutional subscriber which has requested in perpetuity access and which has paid in full all fees charged by the Council for such access. Members of institutions are limited to research and teaching staff, whether permanent or visiting; students; employees, both full-time and part-time; on-site users of the institution library(s) and campus computer network(s); and any other users agreed to in writing by the Council and the institution.

The Journal(s) may be hosted by the Council on its web site or on the web site of an agent authorized by the Council to host the electronic editions.
Permitted use of the Journals:
1. Individual use:
1.1 Any Authorized User may search, download, and save material included in the Journal for his or her own use, except that downloading of entire issues of the Journal is not permitted. Single printed copies of individual articles may be made for private use or research. (The term “article” includes any editorial, book review, or other discrete work contained in the Journal.)

1.5 The Council reserves the right to deny access to a username and/or password immediately if unauthorized use is detected or suspected, and to use its best efforts to notify the individual subscriber or society member of any denial of access.

2.2 Interlibrary loan: Institutional subscribers may use hard or electronic copies derived directly or indirectly from the electronic edition of the Journal for the purpose of interlibrary loan with the same limitations that apply to paper copies for that purpose made from the print edition of the journals. Specifically, copies must be made in compliance with Section 108 of the Copyright Act of the U.S. and with guidelines developed by the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (CONTU Guidelines), the text of which is available as part of U.S. Copyright Office Circular 21.
2.3 Materials from the Journals may not be modified, redistributed, licensed, sold, used to make multiple copies, or otherwise exploited in any way for commercial purposes.
2.4 Institutions may download and save the materials to which they subscribe on a local domain Web server in order to provide online access to their local community. However, access to the files on the library’s server must be restricted to authorized users, which include faculty, staff, students, alumni and library patrons of the subscribed institution. Upon canceling their subscription, institutions can request an archival file copy (provided on CD-ROM or alternative medium at UIP’s discretion) containing all of the articles published online during the span of the institution’s paid subscription. In this way, institutions can arrange for access in perpetuity for materials published during the term of their subscription. Additionally, UIP is working with other providers, such as the LOCKSS Project, in order to arrange storage of backup copies of all digital files to ensure future availability.
2.5 Institutional subscribers are responsible for undertaking reasonable measures to prevent access by unauthorized persons to authorized IP addresses, and are responsible for terminating any unauthorized access of which the institution has actual notice or knowledge. Institutions will not be held responsible for unauthorized use of the Journal provided (i) such use is without the express or implied consent of the institution; (ii) the institution promptly notifies the Council of any such use of which it becomes aware; and (iii) the institution takes all reasonable steps to terminate such activity promptly. The Council reserves the right to deny access immediately if unauthorized use is detected or suspected; however, denial of access will be limited, to the extent practicable, to the IP address(es) from which the activity originated. The Council agrees to notify promptly the institution of any denial of access; to cooperate with the institution in terminating such activity; and to restore access to the affected IP address(es) within one business day of successful resolution of the situation. Failure to take reasonable steps to terminate unauthorized activity within thirty (30) days of notice from the Council of such activity or repeated usage violation from the authorized IP addresses of the institution may result in suspension or termination of access.
